A group of 24 former students of failed language school operator Nova Corp lodged a suit for damages Friday against former Nova management and two audit companies, seeking a total of 16 million yen in compensation to cover prepaid tuition. It was the first time that former Nova students have filed a class action suit since the company went bankrupt last year, lawyers for the plaintiffs said after filing the suit with the Osaka District Court.
They claimed that former President Nozomu Sahashi and other Nova management led the company to bankruptcy after employing illicit accounting procedures and business practices to expand its operations.

Several men including a yakuza member have been arrested for confining the former president of failed English conversation school Nova for several days in a hotel room, police said.
The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) arrested several men on Monday, including a member from a gang related to the Yamaguchi-gumi criminal syndicate, on suspicion of confining former Nova President Nozomu Sahashi, 58, in a hotel room in Tokyo's Chuo Ward.
Investigators said that police received a report from Sahashi's acquaintances, saying that they had lost contact with him after he arrived in Tokyo on Sept. 25.
Following an investigation, police raided the hotel room at around 3 p.m. on Monday, where they rescued Sahashi and arrested several men, including a gang member. Sahashi suffered no injuries.
The suspects have reportedly denied the allegations, saying they were "just staying with Sahashi."
The MPD has launched a search for several other people who are believed to have been involved in the case, while questioning the suspects.
In August this year, Sahashi was found guilty of embezzling about 320 million yen from his company's welfare fund and was sentenced to three and a half years in prison by the Osaka District Court. He has already filed an appeal against the ruling.

What's more significant is that these were just 27 fairly ordinary, if disgruntled, customers. The decision seems to open up the way for many many more to claim against him.

Hmmm. Interesting thought. Wouldn't that be great. It would be interesting to know how much TEPCO has paid out so far compared to BP for their piece of monumental stupidity. I wouldn't mind betting TEPCO are well behind even though they have done and are doing far more damage.
